FOSSILS - Founded in 1972, the Lloyd Banks coprolite, is the largest known fossilized what?

SPORTS RECORDS - Which sport claims the world record for fastest moving ball? SNACK INVENTIONS - Now reported as false, Richard Montanez claimed he went from being a Frito-Lay janitor to being the inventor of what popular snack in 1992? Missed Corrections 151 - Michael Jackson premiered the Moonwalk at Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in 1983, not the Apollo theater in NYC 151 - Forgot to mention Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne) was also a member of Tinted Windows, he died of complications related to COVID-19 in 2020 151 - Kevin H on Discord: Medulla: "the inner region of an organ or tissue, especially when it is distinguishable from the outer region or cortex (as in a kidney, an adrenal gland, or hair)." Turns out every organ really does have a medulla, @Quizmaster Lee 151 - From Michael K: Not exactly a missed correction, but on the question regarding elephant poo, the reason that triceratops would have such large piles is probably either a. they regularly return to the same spot to poo like llamas and alpacas do or b. their digestive systems are not as efficient as modern mammals, so they have to eat more than elephants do. 150 - From Caitlyn: Y’all, I actually have a self- missed-correction regarding my Tevin Campbell question! I stated that Tevin Campbell got his start as Prince’s back-up singer, but this is most likely not correct. For years I’ve thought this was the case, but upon further research I discovered that while Campbell was considered Prince’s protégé, it was because Prince produced his first solo hit in 1991, “Round and Round.” Round Two AWARDS RECORDS - Edith Head is a woman who has won the most of what award?

Eric LeGrand was a defensive tackle at Rutgers University until he suffered a career ending spinal cord injury. Since then he has been signed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, won the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance at the 2012 ESPYs, had his number 52 retired by the Rutgers Football team and was named the Most Influential Person in New Jersey Sports by the Star Ledger. Eric's number retirement ceremony. The first and only number retired in school history. It has been 6 years to the day since Eric LeGrand suffered a career-ending, and life-altering spinal cord injury while making a tackle on a kick-off late in the game against the Army Black Knights at Met Life stadium. I was on the sideline that game working as a student manager for the Rutgers football team. I had my eye off the field for a moment, but when I heard the impact and the roar from the crowd, I remember immediately turning around and seeing Eric on his back with his legs awkwardly raised in the air. There was a feeling of eeriness like I had never seen before as an athlete or spectator. First on the scene, Athletic Trainers, Mike Pawlusiak (left) and Dave McCune (right). I can't stress the importance of Athletic Trainers enough!!! When I learned that extent of the Eric's injury after the game, I didn't even know what to say or do. Eric's injury occurred in the middle of my darkest days recovering from my traumatic brain injury. I was constantly feeling bad for myself and struggling to find an identity outside of the sport of football. Eric's injury really hit home hard for me, because we both experienced the two of the worst possible things that could happen to you during a football game. A feeling of guilt quickly came over me during this time because I could still do things that Eric wished he could, like throw the football and lift weights, among a list of countless other things most of the world takes for granted. This is a

A feeling of guilt quickly came over me during this time because I could still do things that Eric wished he could, like throw the football and lift weights, among a list of countless other things most of the world takes for granted. This is a picture I took of the stadium and uploaded to Facebook before the game on October 16, 2010. Eric's spirit was unmatched in the Rutgers football locker room. His absence had a huge impact on his teammates as they lost all the remaining games left on the schedule. One year after his injury, Eric lead the Scarlet Knights on to the field on a snowy October evening to take on the West Virginia Mountaineers. That moment is one that will impact the rest of my life and I reference it in ever talk I give about my own story of perseverance. As he and his teammates made their way onto the field, Eric's signature ear-to-ear grin was captured in a picture, which was ultimately featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Body language is huge in the game of football. I remember having to count how many times we had our heads down while breaking down game film from the night before. Having your head down showed to the whole world that you had given up and that you were defeated. The coaches at Rutgers preached similar things during practice and looking back, I couldn't agree more. Below is a picture of me, post injury, at the coin toss of my team's last football game during my high school senior year (check out Episode 1 to hear my tale). How would you describe my body language? Personally, I see someone who looks like they are feeling bad for themselves, who has given up and who was defeated. West Morris Central vs. Warren Hills, November 9, 2007, 43-0 Wolfpack Looking back on the time between my injury and the night Eric returned to the field against West Virginia, I am embarrassed at how I acted. Fortunately, Eric inspired me to do good with the gifts I was given, not sulk over the ones that were taken away from me. This podcast is my attempt to prevent other athletes from acting and feeling how did by sharing stories of perseverance like Eric's. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to interview Eric, and although I was planning on making this my 52nd episode, I felt that posting today was a more appropriate time. Below are some talking points we cover: Playing sports growing up and staying injury free Concussions How to handle position changes The important role of special teams players Leading up to his spinal cord injury Moments after his spinal cord injury Rehab/recovery Defying the odds Transition to life after football Cool experiences he has had since his injury Lessons learned from playing for coach Schiano The meaning behind his many tattoos and if he feels them while he gets inked Eric's thoughts on the kickoff in football Be on the lookout for Eric's new show on Fox, "Mission Possible," where he also shares stories of perseverance! As mentioned before, Eric and I suffered some of the most extreme injuries in sports. However, neither of us regret playing and don't want our stories to take an opportunity to play away from another kid. I hope this episode can add perspective and motivation to your life, it obviously did for me. I also recommend reading Eric's book which takes you through his life as a young kid and through his recovery. Reading it feels like you are sitting in a room talking to him. It had me laughing the whole time. Please show your support to Eric by making a donation at the link below. Where can you find Eric?
